When pencils or real paints aren't good enough for you so that you want a slower method to make an image of something you can never transfer anywhere, you want Mario Paint!

All I ever did was make music and swat flies, but both were great fun, so whatever.

for children who'd hurt themselves with colored pencils

My heart kind of wants to give this game like an 8 because of these faded but lingering quarter-century-old memories of making dorky little simplistic animations and tin-eared bleepy musical loops with friends while eating junk food in my little lamplit gaming room in my parents' house until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights back in '92, '93. But my brain kind of has to overrule my heart and point out how massively limited this game is. Doesn't mean I'm not fond of it though.
